Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
for the period ended December 31, 2018
Note 1 - General information
Borr Drilling Limited was incorporated in Bermuda on August 8, 2016. The company is listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange, under the ticker BDRILL. Borr Drilling Limited is an international offshore drilling contractor providing services to the oil and gas industry, with the ambition of acquiring and operating modern jack-up drilling rigs. As of December 31, 2018, the total fleet consisted of 36 jack-up drilling rigs and one semi-submersible drilling rig, of which 9 jack-up drilling rigs are scheduled for delivery between 2019 and 2020.
As used herein, and unless otherwise required by the context, the term "Borr Drilling" refers to Borr Drilling Limited and the terms "Company," "we," "Group," "our" and words of similar import refer to Borr Drilling and its consolidated companies. The use herein of such terms as "group", "organisation", "we", "us", "our" and "its", or references to specific entities, is not intended to be a precise description of corporate relationships.
Basis of presentation
We have prepared our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S.") for interim financial information. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, these financial statements do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. Such adjustments are considered to be of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise noted. Operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2018, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018, or for any future period. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto including the Company's annual report for the year ended December 31, 2017. The amounts are presented in millions of United States dollar (U.S. dollar), unless otherwise stated. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The consolidated financial statements present the financial position of Borr Drilling Limited and its subsidiaries. Investments in companies in which the Company controls, or directly or indirectly holds more than 50% of the voting control are consolidated in the financial statements.
Subsequent events have been reviewed from the period end to issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statement on February 28, 2019.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the assets and liabilities of the Company. All intercompany balances, transactions and internal sales have been eliminated on consolidation. Unrealized gains and losses arising from transactions with affiliates are eliminated to the extent of the Company's interest in the entity. The non-controlling interests of subsidiaries were included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statements of Operations as "Non-controlling interests". Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
Use of estimates
Preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note 2 - Accounting policies
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. None of the new accounting standards or amendments that were adopted as of the fourth quarter of 2018 had a significant effect on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Adoption of new accounting standards
In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance to ASU 2017-01 "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business". The amendments provide guidance on evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as an asset acquisition or a business combination (or disposal). The guidance requires that in order to be considered a business, a transaction must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantial process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. The guidance removes the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace the missing elements. The revised guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Disclosures.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
for the period ended December 31, 2018
On May 10, 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Scope of Modification Accounting, which amends the scope of modification accounting for sharebased payment arrangements, provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting under ASC 718. For all entities, the ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Disclosures.
Issued not effective accounting standards
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The update requires an entity to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. It also offers specific accounting guidance for a lessee, a lessor and sale and leaseback transactions. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to enable a user of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years and early adoption is permitted. We expect to conclude our valuation of the expected effect of adoption prior to the release of our annual report of 2018, due April 30, 2019.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which revises guidance for the accounting for credit losses on financial instruments within its scope. The new standard introduces an approach, based on expected losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments and modifies the impairment model for availablefor-sale debt securities. The guidance will be effective January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Entities are required to apply the standard's provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this standard update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Note 3 - Revenues
The services the Company performs represent a single performance obligation under our drilling contracts. This performance obligation is satisfied over time. The Company earns revenues primarily by performing the following activities: (i) providing our drilling rig, work crews, related equipment and services necessary to operate the rig (ii) delivering the drilling rig by mobilising to and demobilising from the drill location, and (iii) performing certain pre‑operating activities, including rig preparation activities or equipment modifications required for the contract.
The Company recognises revenues earned under our drilling contracts based on variable dayrates, which range from a full operating dayrate to lower rates or zero rates for periods when drilling operations are interrupted or restricted, based on the specific activities performed during the contract. Such dayrate consideration is attributed to the distinct time period to which it relates within the contract term, and therefore, recognised as the Company perform the services. The Company recognises reimbursement revenues and the corresponding costs as the Company provide the customer‑requested goods and services, when such reimbursable costs are incurred while performing drilling operations. Prior to performing drilling operations, the Company may receive pre‑operating revenues, on either a fixed lump‑sum or variable dayrate basis, for mobilisation, contract preparation, customer‑requested goods and services or capital upgrades, which the Company recognise on a straight‑line basis over the contract period. The Company recognise losses for loss making contracts immediately.
In the three months ended December 31, 2018, September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and twelve months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognised revenues of US\$53.5 million, US\$49.7 million, US\$ 0.1 million, US\$164.9 million and US\$ 0.1 million, respectively, primarily relating to dayrates.
To obtain contracts with our customers, the Company incurs costs to prepare a rig for contract and deliver or mobilise a rig to the drilling location. The Company defers pre‑operating costs, such as contract preparation and mobilisation costs, and recognise such costs on a straight‑line basis, consistent with the general pace of activity, in operating and maintenance costs over the estimated firm period of drilling. In the three months ended December 31, 2018, September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and twelve months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognised US\$2.0 million, US\$1.6 million, US\$ nil, US\$12.0 million and US\$ nil, respectively, of pre-operating expenses included in rig operating and maintenance expenses in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note 5 - Taxation
Borr Drilling Limited is a Bermuda company not required to pay taxes in Bermuda on ordinary income or capital gains as it qualifies as an Exempted Company. We operate through various subsidiaries in numerous countries throughout the world and are subject to tax laws, policies, treaties and regulations, as well as the interpretation or enforcement thereof, in jurisdictions in which we or any of our subsidiaries operate, were incorporated, or otherwise considered to have a tax presence. Our income tax expense is based upon our interpretation of the tax laws in effect in various countries at the time that the expense was incurred.
The change in the effective tax rate from period to period is primarily attributable to changes in the profitability or loss mix of our operations in various jurisdictions. As our operations continually change among numerous jurisdictions, and methods of taxation in these jurisdictions vary greatly, there is little direct correlation between the income tax provision or benefit and income or loss before taxes.

Note 6 - Earnings/(Loss) per share
The computation of basic earnings/(loss) per share ("EPS") is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS includes the effect of the assumed conversion of potentially dilutive instruments which are 13,075,000 share options outstanding issued to employees and directors and convertible bonds with a conversion price of US\$6.6963 for a total of 52,267,670 shares. Due to the Company's current loss-making position these are deemed to have an anti-dilutive effect on the EPS of the Company.

Paragon was an international driller with a fleet of 23 drilling units. This fleet included two modern units, the Prospector 1 and Prospector 5 built in 2013 and 2014. The portfolio also included a semi-submersible drilling rig, "MSS1" with a long-term contract for TAQA in the North Sea which commenced on March 6, 2018.
The Paragon transaction is accounted for as a business combination. The estimated fair value of Paragon is valued by an independent third party. The estimated fair value of the individual rigs was derived by using a market and income-based approach with market participant based assumptions.
Bargain purchase gain of US\$38.1 million was recognised as a gain in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Bargain purchase gain arises when fair value of the net assets acquired is higher than total fair value of purchase consideration.
At the closing of the Paragon transaction the Company settled the long-term debt of US\$89.3 million, including accrued interest and breakage fee and recorded US\$22.3 million as restructuring cost in the first quarter of 2018. In the second quarter of 2018 restructuring costs of US\$5.0 million were recognised. During the third quarter of 2018 restructuring cost of US\$4.6 million was recognised. The Company recognised US\$3.2 million of restructuring cost in the fourth quarter 2018.
During the third quarter of 2018 the Company purchased the remaining outstanding shares in Paragon Offshore limited for US\$1.0 million.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
for the period ended December 31, 2018
Paragon pro forma information
Basis of preparation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined historical statements of operations are based on Borr Drilling Limited's ("Borr") and Paragon Offshore Limited's ("Paragon") historical consolidated financial statements as adjusted to give effect to the acquisition of Paragon Offshore Limited. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the 12 months ended December 31, 2018 give effect to the Paragon Offshore Limited acquisition as if it had occurred on the January 1, 2018.
Pro forma adjustments
The following adjustments have been reflected in the pro forma condensed combined financial statements for 2018:
a - Reflects the estimated depreciation and amortization expense of US\$7.8 million relating to the depreciation and amortisation related to the acquired fleet of rigs. Two of the acquired rigs were subject to a change in estimated useful life in order to conform to Borr's depreciation policy, reducing from 35 years to 30 years. In addition, the value of the fleet was reduced in total by US\$166.6 million, from US\$427.6 million to US\$261.0 million, based on management's estimated of fair value, thereby reducing depreciation by US\$2.9 million.
b - Reflecting the amortisation of the fair value of acquired contract backlog. As part of the purchase price allocation exercise, management determined that the firm contractual backlog on rigs in operation at the time of acquisition met the definition of an intangible asset. The amount was capitalised and is amortised to the income statement over the period of the firm contract. The adjustment of US\$6 million reflects the backlog being capitalised at January 1, 2018.
The tax effect of adjustments a and b have had the Company's statutory tax rate of 0% applied to them. The Company is an Exempted Company for tax purposes in Bermuda.
Transocean transaction
On March 15, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement and a signed letter of intent to acquire fifteen high specification jack-up drilling rigs from Transocean Inc ("Transocean"). The transaction consisted of Transocean's entire jack-up fleet, comprising eight rig owning companies in Transocean's fleet and five newbuildings under construction at Keppel Fels Limited, Singapore. Total consideration for the transactions was approximately US\$1.35 billion and included remaining contract backlog and remaining yard instalments to be made to Keppel Fels Limited for the five newbuildings.
On March 15, 2017 a deposit of US\$32.0 million, in line with the agreement between the parties, was paid to Transocean. The Company secured financing for the transaction through a private placement of equity securities. The transaction was subject to the parties executing definitive agreements and satisfying formal closing conditions, including final approvals from the board of directors of both companies.
On May 31, 2017, the Company completed the transaction (acquisition date) with Transocean paying a further consideration of US\$288.7 million, in addition to the US\$32.0 million deposit already paid. As a result of the transaction, the Company took 100% ownership of the following established rig owning entities and branches, which have been accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805:
Name of acquired company New name of acquired company Constellation II Limited Borr Jack-Up VIII Limited (name changed once Chevron contract completed) GlobalSantaFe West Africa Drilling Limited Borr Baug Limited Transocean Andaman Limited Borr Idun Limited Transocean Ao Thai Limited Borr Mist Limited Transocean Britannia Limited Borr Atla Limited Transocean Drilling Resources Limited Borr Brage Limited Transocean Drilling Services Offshore Inc. Borr Jack-Up XIV Inc. Transocean Siam Driller Limited Borr Odin Limited
Three of the Transocean Rigs were on contract with an external customer at the time of closing. One rig ended the contract in July 2017. As part of the agreement, the Company will pay such an amount equal to the amounts received by the owners of the three rigs under the Transocean Bareboat Charter to Transocean. As a result of the agreement with Transocean, the bareboat operating revenue and costs for these rigs are presented net in the consolidated statement of operations.
Recognised amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value:

| Fair value of net assets acquired | 324.5 |
| Goodwill | - |
The jack-up drilling rigs have been fair valued by an independent third party. The estimated fair value of the jack-up drilling rigs was derived by using a market and income based approach with market participant based assumptions. An onerous contract position arose with regards to the newbuilding contracts acquired as the carrying value (future commitments) differs from prevailing market rates and cashflows at the time of acquisition. The net present value of the newbuilding contracts has been recorded as a liability at the purchase date.
Acquisition related transaction costs consisted of various legal, accounting, commissions, valuations and other professional fees which amounted to US\$3.3 million, which were expensed as incurred and are presented in the statement of operations within general and administrative expenses. No goodwill was recognised from the business combination.
No quantitative pro forma profit and loss information has been prepared as if the Transocean Transactions completed on 1 January 2017 or earlier as such financial information is not available to the Company and is as the Group determined that the profit and loss information 31 May 2017 was of limited relevance for an understanding of the Group's financial position. The calculated depreciation in Q1 2017 would have amounted to approximately USD 6.6 million assuming that the Transocean Transaction closed on 1 January 2017. In addition, had the Transocean Transaction completed on 1 January 2017, Borr Drilling would have incurred slightly higher general and administrative expenses in connection with management of the Transocean Rigs. However, since three of contracts were still managed by Transocean and that the remainder of the Transocean Rigs were stacked, such costs are expected to be limited. At the time of the transaction the estimated all-in stacking cost (excluding overhead) per Rig was approximately USD 3,500 per day on average.

Note 11 - Marketable Securities
Marketable securities are marked to market, with changes in fair value recognised in "Other comprehensive income" ("OCI"). In 2017, the Company purchased debt securities for approximately US\$26.9 million.

Note 12 - Financial Instruments
Forward contracts
As of December 31, 2018, the Company has forward contracts to purchase shares in listed drilling companies for an aggregate amount of approximately US\$85.4 million. The forward contracts consist of forward assets of US\$50.3 million and forward liabilities of US\$85.4 million, and are presented as net unrealized loss of US\$35.1 million under accrued expenses and other current liabilities (see note 19).in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018. During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company settled forward contracts resulting in net cash proceeds of US\$16.1 million.
Call Spread
On May 16, 2018 the Company successfully placed US\$350.0 million in convertible bonds due in 2023 (the "Bonds") (see note 16). The Company has purchased from Goldman Sachs International call options over 52,268,060 shares with a strike price of US\$6.6963 to mitigate the economic exposure from a potential exercise of the conversion rights embedded in the Bonds. In addition, the Company has sold to Goldman Sachs International call options over the same number of shares with a strike of US\$8.5225. The transactions are referred to as the "Call Spread". The purpose of the Call Spread is to improve the effective conversion premium for the Company in relation to the Bonds to 75% over US\$4.87. The average maturity of the call options purchased and sold is May 14, 2023 with maturities starting on May 16, 2022 and ending on May 16, 2024. The call options bought and sold are European options exercisable only at maturity and are cash settled. Fair value adjustments during the fourth quarter of 2018 resulted in an unrealised loss recognised in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in financial income (expense), net, of US\$16.9 million. As of December 31, 2018, aggregated fair value adjustments is an unrealised loss of US\$25.7 million related to one-off costs for entering into the position and subsequent fair value adjustments.
